My Operators manual for the FT-726R instructs me to tune the receiver while transmitting to the satellite in order to listen for my down link. However on my 726, the RX tuning is locked while in transmit, duplex or otherwise. Is there a mod necessary or is this a software change made after mine was built? Looking for clues from 726 users. Thanks.
